egypt s foreign minister telling pbs today that america s trying to force its will on egypt. you know, you talked about the playbook that these folks are using. this seems yet another play right out of a playbook. well, look, anderson, i know this man, not very well, he s not a friend of mine. i knew when he was ambassador to the u.n. this is the political class of the mubarak regime. these are men who manufacture their own truth. and now the truth is laid bare. consider, for example, they tell us we can t list a state of emergency because there are 17,000 prisoners out there. but then they concede, because they are now putting on trial the former interior ministry, they concede that the former interior ministry told the prisoners, quote unquote, leave and don t look back. so these are men who are not even that good at lying anymore. they trip up over their own lies, because they lived for a long time in this manufactured truth that they sold to themselves and to the world. they sold
results. and i m very differential to him on matters of policy. but we must understand the bargain we made with someone like hosni mubarak. yes, he helped us in retail ways, but the terror he unleashed on us indirectly, and the kind of egypt he made and manufactured and the blowback that came our way from egypt is enormous. a thesis has been made, the road to 9/11 led through the prisons of egypt. the torture chambers, the prisons that gave us many, many members of al qaeda. al qaeda had a saudi prince here and a saudi head, i.e. osama bin laden, and much of the leadership, much of the men who committed terror were the product of egyptian society and the pathologies and injustices. fouad, i think that s right. it s fundamental. but i think you would agree that every administration in recent years has made the bargain on the side of security as opposed

my kids, but i m willing to lose all of that for my dream to happen. and no one is going to go against our desire. no one. and i m telling this to suleiman, watch this. kidnap me. kidnap all my colleagues. put us in jail, kill us. do whatever you want to do. we are getting back our country. you guys have been ruining this country for 30 years. enough. enough. enough. speaking directly to the vice president of egypt. fear has been defeated, protesters keep saying. you heard that young executive, works for a big western company. doesn t need money. has money of his own. has a family. yet he says he is willing to die, as are the other protesters for freedom. join the live chat right now. evidence the white house may be perhaps should have known egypt
